With Governor Dannel Malloy's announcement last week that he won't seek reelection to a third term, there's been a lot of speculation about which Democrat would head the top of the ticket in 2018. One politician is a firm 'no'. 5th District Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty will not be running for governor. Esty said in a statement that at this critical juncture, she believes she can best serve Connecticut by continuing to give her all in Congress.
